This extended two-bedroom terrace in Millfield offers a practical, freehold home close to the University of Sunderland and city-centre amenities. The historical extension creates generous internal space and a flexible layout suited to living, working from home, or simple reconfiguration.
Internally the property shows period character but is dated in places — the living room and fixtures would benefit from modernization to unlock full value. At about 818 sq ft the home is average in size with useful rear yard and a front garden that add outdoor space despite a small overall plot.
Location is a clear strength: fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and frequent public transport make daily commuting straightforward. However, the area has high crime and is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale and some buyers’ preferences.
This house will suit a buyer looking for an affordable entry into Sunderland who is comfortable with renovation or an investor prepared to improve the property. Council Tax is low (Band A), tenure is freehold, and the layout offers scope for practical updates rather than significant structural change.
